Just finished my latest upgrade. CPU, MB, and case are all from my complete rebuild about a year ago. Monitor and speakers were added about 6-7 months ago. The rest is all new. I think I'm pretty well done, but if y'all see anything else I need I'd appreciate the advice. I was thinking about upping to 32GB RAM, but I don't think it'd really make much of a difference.

Computer:

Case: Fractal Design Define R4
PSU: Seasonic Platinum 1000
MBoard: MSI Z87 G45 Gaming
CPU: i5 4670K @ 4.4 GHz, 1.140 vcore
Cooler: Thermalright TrueSpirit 120
Memory: 16 GB (2 x 8GB) Gskill Trident 2400 10-12-12-31
GPU(s): 2 x Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 OC in Crossfire
OS Drive: Samsung 840 Pro SSD 256 GB
Storage: Crucial M500 SSD 960 GB

No don't up to 32gb its pointless and it will most probably be sitting there unused. Though I would use this money to upgrade to 4770k, this will go nicely with your 290 I suppose

I had considered going with the 4770K, but everything I've read is that it's just not worth it for gaming. And that's all I really need the horsepower for.
